Sunday Prayers for Patriots - 5th Sunday after Easter

EPISTLE (James I. 22‑27.) Dearly Beloved, Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass: for he beheld himself and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was. But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless, and widows in their tribulation, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

The Evil Influence of Psychiatry: The true shadow government

The shadow government you have never seen:



See Ron Paul in this video. This is how they will put you in jail for being independent, and believing in freedom.  Mental health screening is a violation of your privacy and your life. Never submit.

This is why the people hate the cops.

Only "Extremists" Believe They Have a Right to be Left Alone

This article by William Norman Grigg deserves to be reprinted in it's entirety all across this land.

By William Norman Grigg

http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/05/william-norman-grigg/think-you-have-the-right-to-be-left-alone%E2%80%A8/

Ernie Wayne terTelgte is a poor man from a tiny village in Montana who believes that nature gives him a license to live. Barack Obama is a wealthy and privileged man residing at the seat of power who believes his position gives him a license to kill. Naturally, the Tolerance Commissars are pretending that the former is a menace to society, because of the contempt he displays for the system that facilitates the crimes committed by the latter.

Last August, terTelgte was fishing at Three Forks Pond with his eleven-year-old son when they were accosted by Adam Pankratz, who is employed as a warden by the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Service.

When Pankratz saw terTelgte reeling in a fish, the warden asked if he had a fishing license. TerTelgte replied that he didn’t need one. Pretending to concede the point, the warden persisted in demanding that terTelgte provide identification. When both teTelgte and his son quite sensibly refused the demand, Pankratz called for assistance, and Three Forks Police Officer Colter Metcalf quickly arrived.

Officer Metcalf made a brief and unsuccessful attempt to learn terTelgte’s identity.

Pankratz later said that he and Metcalf were concerned by the fact that terTelgte’s “body language” was “tense,” that his language was “curt,” and that he kept telling them to “walk away” and “just leave me alone.” This is a description of someone whose behavior was defensive. But Pankratz and Metcalf, as representatives of the coercive caste, insisted on escalating the encounter by arresting him for “obstruction.”

“We didn’t want it to go this far, especially with the son … but we couldn’t identify him,” Pankratz complained, assuming that a tax-funded aggressor is entitled to sympathy because of his occupation.

Since terTelgte had no legal duty to present identification (Montana code authorizes “stop and frisk”-style harassment of citizens, but doesn’t specify that citizens have a duty to identify themselves), the arrest was unlawful. As is the case elsewhere, Montana state statutes authorize police to abduct citizens without legal justification if this is done “under the peace officer’s official authority.”

Plucking a fish from a “publicly owned” pond without a license is considered an offense, despite the fact that entailed no violation of property rights. (If it did, who is the victim, and what injury did he sustain?) Violently abducting a human being who has done no harm to anyone, on the other hand, is regarded as a “lawful” act, assuming that the kidnapper is accoutered in the officially prescribed costume.

To his credit, the victim was non-cooperative but non-violent. This wasn’t true of the assailants, of course. After Metcalf threatened to attack terTelgte with pepper spray, Pankratz kicked his legs out from beneath him.

Rather than mounting a violent defense against his captors, terTelgte simply sat motionless on the ground, forcing them to pick him up and carry him to the police car.

During his arraignment before Three Forks Municipal Judge Wanda Drusch, terTelgte refused to defer to her authority or play his expected role as a penitent and submissive suspect.

“I was searching for something to put in my stomach as I am … allowed to do by universal law,” he declared. “I am the living man and I have the right to forage for food when I am hungry.” 

The “trial” last November — if the proceedings merit that description — was attended by 32 police officers from ten agencies, brought together by shared concern that the defendant’s defiance might prove contagious. TerTelgte was denied the right—supposedly protected by the Constitution – to cross-examine witnesses or to introduce evidence on his own behalf.

To the surprise of nobody, terTelgte was quickly found guilty of the supposed offense of obstructing the unwarranted harassment of armed state

functionaries, and refusing to cooperate in his own abduction. Although his jail sentence was suspended, terTelgte later spent 30 days behind bars for “contempt” after he declined to take off his hat in the courtroom during a subsequent appearance on another charge of “resisting arrest.”

TerTelgte is clearly eccentric; he might even be considered obnoxious by some. It is reasonable to conclude that his actions have been unwise, a violation of the principle that each of us has trouble enough and shouldn’t be seeking to borrow more. But he is patently harmless. There is no evidence that he has ever injured or defrauded anybody, which certainly can’t be said of the government functionaries who assaulted and caged him, or the criminal entity that employs them.

It is the zeal to prolong the pretense of the Regime’s legitimacy that led the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify terTelgte as a public enemy, an exponent of what that self-appointed Stasi calls “sovereign citizen ideology.”

Stated in its broadest terms, the “sovereign citizen” concept holds that some people can exempt themselves from the law through the use of esoteric legal concepts expressed in impenetrable language. From that perspective, people who utter or publish the appropriate conjurations can seize the property of others, issue fraudulent financial instruments, and employ lethal violence against those who seek to hold them accountable.

Assuming that this is an accurate description, at least some “sovereign citizens” are attempting to mimic the criminal behavior of those who presume to rule the rest of us. The SPLC and allied “watchdog” groups offer no objections to the routine practice of fraud and exercise of lethal aggressive violence by the most dangerous element of our society. They simply want to preserve that element’s monopoly on the privilege of committing criminal aggression.

This is why the SPLC professes alarm that outrage over the terTelgte case has prompted some Montana residents to create a citizens’ grand jury to investigate allegations of abuse and official misconduct. SPLC flack David Neiwert breathlessly – and perhaps hopefully – writes that this could lead to a rural “showdown” akin to the April 12 confrontation in Bunkerville, Nevada.

William Wolf, who has organized efforts to create the citizens grand jury, has suggested that his group might arrest Rick West, the Justice of the Peace who sent terTelgte to jail for thirty days on a contempt charge. Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin described this as “unacceptable,” accusing Wolf and his allies of “crossing a line they can’t cross.”

“When there are threats like this, not only does it affect that person, it affects their family,” mewled Gootkin in a television interview. “For someone in the family to live in fear, that’s not the way things work. When you start talking about arresting people and kidnapping people … that’s unacceptable and nothing good comes from that.”

It’s appropriate that Gootkin uses the terms “arrest” and “kidnap” interchangeably, given that the latter is properly applied to what was done to terTelgte. The public record is barren of any recognition by Sheriff Gootkin that terTelgte’s abduction traumatized his eleven-year-old son and made him “live in fear.” Apparently the impact of violence on Mundanes and their children doesn’t concern the Sheriff.

Gootkin also berated members of the proposed citizens’ grand jury for “bypassing” the criminal justice system. The real scandal here is the effective destruction of the grand jury, which was intended to be a citizens’ assembly rather than a government entity.

From the Founding era until the early 20th Century, grand juries were bodies that could carry out independent investigations of official corruption and deliver “presentments” to prosecutors in search of redress. Constitutional scholar Roger Roots observes that the grand jury, “in its primal, plenary sense … was a group of men who stood as a check on government, often in direct opposition to the desires of those in power.”

Writing in the Fordham Law Review, Kevin K. Washburn points out that the grand jury “came to us as an institution that was respected for its profound ability to protect local communities – indeed, possibly rebellious ones – from central government authority. It was, in essence, a local check on Crown authority.” In that capacity, grand juries not only conducted rigorous review of facts, but also “nullification of validly enacted laws,” Washburn continues.

During the reign of FDR, an executive branch Advisory Committee on the Rules of Criminal Procedure – an unaccountable body with no legislative mandate – imposed regulations intended to destroy the independence of grand juries. As a result, “the grand jury is the total captive of the prosecutor, who, if he is candid, will concede that he can indict anybody, at any time, for almost anything, before any grand jury,” wrote federal District Judge William J. Campbell, who urged the formal abolition of the institution in the interests of efficiency.

Judge Campbell offered those observations in 1973. Since that time, the US criminal “justice” system has reached almost Soviet levels of prosecutorial efficiency. Under the reign of Josef Stalin, Soviet procurators were ordered to achieve a 100 conviction rate. In the current federal system, notes Lew Rockwell, the defendant “wins once every 212 times.”

Once the grand jury was re-purposed as an arm of the state, prosecutors were free to commit routine due process violations and destroy what remained of the institution of trial by jury. “Waiving the Criminal Justice System,” a study recently published by the University of Texas School of Law, describes how the adversarial process through which the state must prove the guilt of a defendant has been supplanted with a system of administrative law in which prosecutors extract plea bargains in exchange for relatively lenient sentences. This is why federal prosecutors win well more than ninety percent of their cases through plea bargains, rather than jury trials.

This is a lamentable state of affairs, and, to many observers, a familiar story. This study, however, breaks new ground by showing that prosecutors at both the state and federal levels require defendants to waive due process rights that are vital for post-conviction appeals – such as the right to effective assistance of counsel, and the right to obtain exculpatory evidence that can be used to overturn a conviction or at least obtain a new trial.

In the American tradition, the purpose of a trial was to establish the truth of an accusation against a defendant who is presumed to be innocent. The purpose of our post-constitutional criminal system is to ratify the defendant’s guilt, irrespective of the facts or the law. This is not the doing of eccentrics and “extremists” like Ernie terTelgte, but rather of the respectable people who employ the exercise and the threat of violence to force others to submit to their will – and who can rely on the unconditional support of the SPLC and others of their contemptible ilk.

Roughly a week ago, while the SPLC was pretending that terTelgte and his supporters are a threat to the republic, the US Supreme Court put an end to the illusion that something worthy of being called a republic still exists, or that citizens have any reasonable expectation that, if accused of an offense, they have a right to a trial of some kind.

The High Court refused to hear an appeal filed by Chris Hedges and several other activists challenging a provision of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act under which the president can order the indefinite military detention – without trial or legal recourse — of any U.S. citizen he regards as an enemy of the state.

That provision was struck down as unconstitutional by US District Judge Katherine Forrest, who ruled that it could lead to the seizure and imprisonment of people who exercised rights supposedly protected by the First Amendment. As is their habit, the executive branch’s legal minions greeted that ruling with an indifferent shrug and filed an appeal before a more complaisant federal judge, who ruled that no citizen has legal standing to challenge the NDAA. That ruling was left undisturbed by the Supreme Court.

As a result, summarizes progressive commentator Thom Hartman, the military “now has the power to label us terrorists, capture us, lock us up in jail, and hold us there without any regard for our Constitutional rights to due process or a fair trial.” That power very nicely compliments Obama’s routine practice of executing people without the benefit of trial – including at least one teenaged U.S. citizen.

Ernie terTeglte’s view of sovereignty is that he has a right to feed himself and be left alone. Barack Obama’s view of sovereignty is that of Vladimir Lenin – the supposed right of the Dear Leader to exercise “power without limit, resting directly on force, restrained by no laws, absolutely unrestricted by rules.” Not surprisingly, the SPLC and its allies consider the first view unacceptable, and regard the second as mandatory.

Jury Nullification objections Rebutted - Yours rights on a jury explained.

This jury nullification right is your most powerful vote in our system. 
In a time when almost all courts are corrupt, and operating under commercial and admiralty law in contravention to the US Constitution this may be the only way to get justice in that system. 
The judges don't want you to know this. The prosecutors and the government don't want you to do this. This may be the only way to inject the eternal laws of our creator into an otherwise totally corrupt and evil system of de-facto judgement that has been hijacked by bar attorneys who KNOW what they are involved in and are using it to line their own pockets and create their empire. 
Naturally they will scream and holler when someone makes this knowledge public because it threatens that power and their whole profession. Juries can completely ignore instructions from a judge, and they can completely nullify evil so called laws which are in opposition to the rights that the Constitutions safeguard. 

That has always been the case in our country, and long before our country was founded it was the case in common law. 
Remember the 7th amendment " In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law." 

I challenge anyone to find anywhere in this land any Court that examines according to the rules of common law! They are ALL ruling for the government according to commerce and admiralty, and the lawyers and prosecutors, and judges all KNOW .. So they are all breaking their oath before God to the US Constitution every day.

8 Jury Nullification Objections Rebutted By Steve Silverman Flex Your Rights May 23, 2014 

 A recent Chicago Tribune editorial targets a new fully informed jury bill introduced by the New Hampshire House of Representatives. The bill would strengthen the current state law passed in 2012 that allows lawyers “to inform the jury of its right to judge the facts and the application of the law in relation to the facts in controversy.” The editorial is noteworthy, because it deploys the most common legal establishment objections to jury nullification. ......

Robber Barons Stealing your Wealth under the color of "Law" called Admiralty?

When the American people find out that this is all true, and that they have been robbed by these robber barrons all their lives of every bit of prosperity, and once the government is no longer satisfied with peace and starts the violence they almost started at the Bundy ranch,  there will be an instant bloody revolution starting in America and spreading world wide to rid the world of these evil perpe-traitors of fraud and deception who are manipulating the whole of the world's wealth unlawfully by fraud and deception, threat, duress. coercion and intimidation, and by democide (the murder of a people by their own government) so that they alone can have all the wealth for themselves.  The corrupt courts in America will run with the blood of the corrupt judges and their co-conspirators. The judges will run from the country, and the people will pursue them to the ends of the earth.
My friends, we have NEVER IN OUR LIFETIMES been  really free of this evil.
If you think these statements are radical, and that I am nuts, then you are obligated to read the evidence below that will convince you that what I have said is true.
I didn't write the article below. But I have known most of this for years. DID THEY HAVE YOUR PERMISSION TO DO THIS?  I think not.  Is your state, city, or county listed on Dun and Bradstreet as a corporation. YES it probably is. Did they have your permission to do that ?  NO.
They treat us as cattle, like they treat Cliven Bundy and all the ranchers as cattle to do with as they please.  There will be repercussions for that.
The one thing the government can't do is leave you alone and in peace to live and work and raise your families in prosperity. They won't. Their evil satanic course won't let them. They will get violent at some point. They almost did at the Bundy ranch.
The article below explains why they are doing it and how they are doing it to steal all your wealth. They will steal your whole life if you let them, and they won't give a damn. They are NOT going to stop, unless we make them stop.
Let me say this about freedom. There are those in this world who WANT TO BE TOO FREE.  They want to be free of God's laws. They will have nothing of the moral laws, and that, my friends is the worst form of slavery. They are slaves to satan, the ultimate rebel. They rebel against all lawful authority and set themselves up as if they were God Himself, which they know they can never be, and for which their leader, satan, has already been judged for all eternity. So in their misery, they trade their whole eternity, for what they can get out of this short life.
God have Mercy on them. They know they are already lost for all eternity, so they are just as evil as they can be while they are here, perhaps wishing that in the end they can escape the punishment of their deeds by ceasing to exist.  Sorry boys, but that will never happen. You will wake up dead and buried in  Hell and wish you had just done things differently here on earth for a few years, and availed yourself of God's mercy and love instead. But alas it's too late.
Part of the proof of what is contained in the article below resides in the Mack/Printz decision where Justice Antonin Scalia talkes about the two jurisdicitons of federal and state.  I suggest you read that after this article. Here are the links. 

Read the article and then tell me what you think.   I will reserve my opinion about how the Vatican fits in all this for another article.

Interesting article about Maritime Law

Happily Walking the Plank

Happily Walking the Plank

.by Cara St.Louis

 ― Daniel Webster
― Daniel Webster
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters"
Two things everyone on the planet needs to know. We have had a system of 'legal' fiction imposed upon us called maritime law. It is a fiction. There is no such thing except aboard a ship at sea.
Second, those in the United States, please recall that each of the fifty states is sovereign. That has never ever been dissolved, never would be, and the states had collectively agreed to act as a body for certain purposes. That body and the states within it, are being illegally managed by the separate corporation that is Washington DC.
There are three such corporations: Washington DC, The City of London, and Vatican City.
Here's the third thing everyone needs to know, actually:
FULLY CONSTITUTED STATES
11 States have constituted the Administration of the Common Law Jury in all counties: New York 2-27-14; Florida 3-15-14; Connecticut 3-15-14; Rhode Island 3-15-14; New Jersey 3-22-14; New Hampshire 3-29-14; Arizona 3-31-14; Massachusetts 4-1-14; Maryland 4-5-14; Maine 4-12-14; Washington 5-18-14
Next time you see anything visual. a photo or a news report or a video or even a film that includes a courtroom or perhaps a political press conference, have a good look at the flags flying in the picture. No matter what country is represented by such flag, if it bears a gold braid border it is a signal that this entity is under "maritime law." That means that a courthouse is a ship, essentially, and the judge is the captain of the ship in the wheelhouse.
The gold fringe is not part of the American flag known as the Stars and Stripes, but it is a legal symbol indicating that the court, government building, school or soldier is operating under British Maritime Law and the Uniform Commercial Code; military and merchant law.atlant197
Global financial and political powers have been able to accomplish this, inflicting an artificial legal system upon humanity, by creating a system in which each child is registered essentially as cargo via the document known as a birth (berth) certificate, having been 'delivered' in a 'ward'. Just as a ship comes into a port and needs to file a 'manifest' listing its contents, you come out of your mother's 'water' when you are born. You dock in a berth.
Each berth certificate, upon which all personal data is spelled out in capital letters indicating that it is, in fact, cargo, has upon it somewhere a serial number. This number is your berth certificate number, which indicates you are owned by a corporation and it allows the cargo registered (you) to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. And, believe me, we are traded and traded and traded some more.
Corporate Washington DC agreed to this in 1933 when the USA, bankrupt to its core, borrowed money from the Rothschild banks and consigned each and every citizen from that time forward be held as collateral against the loan. We are truly 'human resources.' The complete picture of this is beyond the scope of this article, however the facts are readily available.
There has been an over-riding movement, called the Freeman Movement, which has taken up the cause of undoing the spell. However, I contend that the unprecedented abuses taken upon the inhabitants of the United States throughout the 20th century and until today, those perpetrated at an exponentially rapid rate by every administration since Lyndon Johnson (with emphasis on Bushes, Clinton, and Obama) have set the scene for a true remembering of sovereignty by each and every state.
There are two kinds of law on this planet. Just two. Maritime Law (British Admiralty Law which conforms to the Universal Commercial Code) and Civil Law (the Law of the Land).(1)
bill of rights
Bill of Rights
Let us then for the sake of humanity, state that there is a false legal system laid upon us, like a thick blanket that chains us, binds us, and keeps us from feeling the sweet sun on our backs.
Is there then a bona fide legal system? Is there a state of being in which humanity has sole ownership of its sovereign self? Yes. It is Natural or Common Law. This truly is the legitimate law of the land.
Essentially the current system of maritime law courts treat each person who appears before the judge (captain) therein as the corporate fiction invented for the purposes of trading berth certificates on the stock exchange. You need never accept that this fiction is you because it isn't. Each court sets a verbal trap and unwary or unsure persons before the captain of that ship may walk right into an invitation to concede that you are, in fact, the Strawman they created, responsible in ways that are unnatural, inhuman, and illegal.
Ultimately when you walk into a court of law, you are being governed by the bylaws of a Corporation and not by your Constitution. There are courts that decide if a matter is Constitutional or Unconstitutional, but they are merely looking out of their legal domain and into ours, for we the people, are the only body or group that considers itself under the Constitution.
Any gathering in which you may be levied some sort of penalty for an act or omission of the same in which the gold-fringed flag is flying is attempting to use Maritime Law. How is this possible on dry land?
US Code, Title 18 B 7, as follows:
Admiralty Jurisdiction is applicable in the following locations:
1) the high seas
2) any American ship
3) any lands reserved or acquired for the use of the United States, and under the exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction thereof, or any place purchased or otherwise acquired by the United States by consent of the legislature of the state. In other words, mainland America.admiralty law words 001
This is as unconstitutional as it is possible to be and thoroughly illegal.
Forty-eight states have joined this critical project. If a state accepts this system, as have the above 11 so far, all counties are under Common Law jurisdiction. In order to get hold intellectually and spiritually of what that means, remember that in the US, county sheriffs actually have more power than the President. Our country was set up this way as a safeguard and we need it now more than ever.
However, this vital information has been kept from the US citizenry for long enough that it is in danger of being forgotten despite it being the true law of the land.
From one of the projects putting this together (link at the end):
DUTY OF THE "COMMON LAW" GRAND JURY
- If anyone's unalienable rights have been violated, or removed, without a legal sentence of their peers, from their lands, home, liberties or lawful right, we [the twenty-five] shall straightway restore them. And if a dispute shall arise concerning this matter it shall be settled according to the judgment of the twenty-five Grand Jurors, the sureties of the peace.
MAGNA CARTA, JUNE 15, A.D. 1215, 52. (2)
And:
Power of the Grand Jury - In a stunning 6 to 3 decision Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, confirmed that the American grand jury is neither part of the judicial, executive nor legislative branches of government, but instead belongs to the people. It is in effect a fourth branch of government "governed" and administered to directly by and on behalf of the American people, and its authority emanates from the Bill of Rights, see United States -v- Williams (3)
The questions are then, why is maritime law a bad thing and what can a common law court do about it? Neither I nor my children nor anyone I know has agreed to become this 'corporate strawman' and abide by the Uniform Commercial Code, based on Roman Canon Law, of Maritime Law.
Trading me on the New York Stock Exchange would suggest that I am owned, that I am property. In fact, that is not the case. I am a natural human being and so are you. My actions as I go through this life will not be judged and dictated by the Universal Commercial Code, for I am not cargo.
I am a natural human. The reality, the law of the land, the spiritual truth, is just under the surface. If, in fact, 48 US sovereign states elect to establish these Grand Juries, then the very nature of the classification of what a misdeed is will change drastically. Much of our freedom will be restored as a matter of course. We can expect massive crackdowns.
However, it remains that, true to the original intent of the original Bill of Rights, the states are absolutely sovereign. It was intended to be that way and it will be that way again.

These "No Knock" raids need to stop. This isn't Nazi Germany.

No Knock Raid Results in Multiple Cops Shot - One Killed
A lot of people — innocent people — and their pets have wound up dead during no knock raids in recent years in this country.
A no knock raid is when officers can serve a warrant on a house without notifying the residents first. At all. Period. Without ringing the doorbell, calling first, a knock, nothing. Police typically do it in the middle of the night or in the wee hours of the morning, too, when people are more likely to be asleep. The majority of these raids aren't even for violent crimes or imminent threats to life and limb, but drug crimes.

So a lot of people tend to die. It’s a pretty stupid way to enforce laws.
We live in a country where the citizenry are armed. If it’s the middle of the night and you hear someone busting through your front door, and if you exercise your 2nd Amendment rights by owning a firearm, your first reaction is going to be to draw that firearm to protect yourself and your family.

Nevada ranchers fight feds for survival in changing times

EUREKA
Cliven Bundy might be Nevada’s most well-known rancher now, but he’s not the only one trying to eke out a living on dry, inhospitable rangeland.
Ranching on federal public lands is diminishing, and remaining ranchers in Nevada and throughout the West have become a hardy breed of survivors in changing times. Like the generations of ranchers before them, they deal with disease in cattle, swings in beef prices and drought.
In the past couple of decades, their work and way of life have faced growing threats: increased red tape from the federal government, reductions to their herd sizes and resistance from federal officials who fret about lawsuits from powerful environmentalist groups.
The numbers are telling. Nevada has 797 grazing allotments for ranching on 43 million acres of public lands overseen by the Bureau of Land Management. The BLM has given 2 million animal-unit months, or AUMs, to Nevada ranchers. One AUM allows a head of cattle, or a cow and its calf, to graze for one month on public lands.

‘We Kill People Based On Metadata’

Supporters of the National Security Agency inevitably defend its sweeping collection of phone and Internet records on the ground that it is only collecting so-called “metadata”—who you call, when you call, how long you talk. Since this does not include the actual content of the communications, the threat to privacy is said to be negligible. That argument is profoundly misleading.
Of course knowing the content of a call can be crucial to establishing a particular threat. But metadata alone can provide an extremely detailed picture of a person’s most intimate associations and interests, and it’s actually much easier as a technological matter to search huge amounts of metadata than to listen to millions of phone calls. As NSA General Counsel Stewart Baker has said, “metadata absolutely tells you everything about somebody’s life. If you have enough metadata, you don’t really need content.” When I quoted Baker at a recent debate at Johns Hopkins University, my opponent, General Michael Hayden, former director of the NSA and the CIA, called Baker’s comment “absolutely correct,” and raised him one, asserting, “We kill people based on metadata.”

Amateur radio more Space Age than Digital Age gaining popularity

There’s something almost majestic about the array of electronic equipment displayed in what once was a bedroom of Jerry Sobel’s home and what now resembles the radio shack of a movie-screen submarine.
On a set of double wooden shelves is a receiver from the ’50s, two transceivers, and an amplifier Sobel built from a kit during the ’70s. There’s a snaky gooseneck microphone and a desk microphone. And, there’s a handheld FM device that looks like a walkie-talkie a kid might play with but which can do things a kid’s walkie-talkie can only dream of.
But it’s the strange assemblage of characters — K0MBB — affixed to a speaker and on the wall that explains what all of this cool stuff is about. It’s the amateur radio call sign of Sobel, president of the Las Vegas Radio Amateur Club (www.LVRAC.org) and practitioner of a not-so-retro electronic art that’s more popular than ever.

FEDS SEIZE FAMILY'S RANCH

When Kit Laney answered a knock on his door Saturday, law enforcement officers from the U.S. Forest Service handed him a piece of paper announcing his Diamond Bar Ranch in southwest New Mexico would be shut down Wednesday and his 300 head of cattle grazing there would be removed – one way or the other.

Answering the confusion about the Bundy ranch militia infighting garbage.

From Paul Stramer in Montana,

I have worked closely with Stewart Rhodes for a long time now. I can't even Imagine him as anything but what his actions toward the Bundy family have indicated he is. He is CERTAINLY NOT a provocateur as the so called Ryan Payne says. I know his family, and the people around his family and I would trust them with my life any time..
He donated $12,500 in a check directly to the Bundy family to help with the expenses and logistics associated with the camp and guard details. He donated a full case of Baofeng radios for the camp and guards. He bought very specialized FLIR (forward looking Infrared radar) vision worth almost $10,000 for 3 units, and donated one to the camp militia (Jerry) and another was stolen along with the chargers for all three. We patrolled the AO for a 30 mile radius all night for 5 nights in a row after the drone threat. He set up a WiFi at the ranch for everyone to use. These were all made possible by members of Oathkeepers donating many thousands of dollars for this travesty the BLM caused in Nevada. 
I was there. We set up a system of radio communications and kept it running for almost a week, and would do it again if the Bundy family would just wake up to who their real friends are, The Oathkeepers, and tell this "Ryan Payne"? or "Jim Messina" or whoever he is to hit the road and not come back. Just the communications part of this mission was worth a bunch to the Bundy family not only as a deterrent, but for their actual safety day and night, and cost the Oathkeepers thousands of dollars.
I hate the infighting as much as anyone, but I will not tolerate being called a traitor or coward or deserter for not spending every minute of the day sitting around a camp in a tent and trying to sort out who is lying.  I KNOW what I saw, and what I saw was Oathkeepers members staying up all night on patrol to make sure that the Bundy ranch was a safe place, and to get them early warning if things went south. I personally spent a week of my life getting ready and performing this mission and I can tell you if it wasn't for the national Oathkeepers organization making it possible for me to be there I would not have been able to come to Nevada at all. I am really glad that I was able to bring Sheriff Peyman to the Bundy ranch, and for being able to meet and spend a couple of hours with Cliven and his family, and I am grateful for having met this great Sheriff with a backbone made of stainless steel, and for being able to spend almost the whole day with him. Some of the people I met at the ranch were very loving and kind, and some (not the Bundys) were as cold as ice when they found out I was the communications person for Oathkeepers.
That's just tough, because I don't get intimidated. I treat everyone kindly and at face value. If they were there for the same reasons I was, that's great, but if they were there for their own ego, or to blow their own horn like this Ryan Payne, if that is his real name, then God bless them, because He is the only one who can.
I hope and pray every day that the people who started this backbiting crap get exposed and have a change of heart. Mr. Pain should get a strong dose of humility, and realize he is NOTHING along side of our creator.  He said and did everything that an agent provocateur would do to drive a wedge between the people at the ranch and the Oathkeepers. That didn't do anybody any good at all except perhaps the government.  Regardless of what anybody thinks about their high and mighty military career, and military discipline, the ranch camp was NOT a military operation. It was NOT conducted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, period. Those were private citizens and residents who were free to come and go as they darn well pleased. There was NO authority present to "command" anybody to do anything at all. Everything was completely voluntary, and even if they volunteered to abide by some kind of temporary order, what was Ryan Payne going to do as punishment if they decided to leave, walk up and execute them for desertion???   What a blow hard, egotistical maniac. What a self centered idiot. What a foul mouthed provocateur.
The best thing he could do for his country now is just cease and desist and disappear from the scene, or any other scene, but that won't happen, will it? He will keep on making himself the supreme "commander" of every incident he can find.
If you want to go to a real patriotic website don't visit this stupid Operation Mutual Aid website. In the first place the Mutual Aid terminology is a police term for frequencies used for inter agency communications at any incident. It's a mainstream police term. Where did they get this name? I surmise that someone who is still in such an organization suggested it, or someone who is under cover in one of the militias.   This is why we should be following Dr. Edwin Vieira's outline for the lawful unorganized militia of the several states, as outlined in his long book on CD rom entitled "The Sword and Sovereignty" instead of having every Tom, Dick and Ryan forming up some kind of ad hoc group and calling it a militia. IT'S NOT a lawful militia unless it's done right. Where does the lawful militia get it's power? From the popular elections of both the Sheriff and the Governor of a State.  Read the book. I bet you can't refute it.
The real patriotic website that scares the hell out of the leftists is www.oathkeepers.org, and that is why the left will try to infiltrate these militias and try to use them against the Oathkeepers.  Between the Oathkeepers and the CSPOA there is a real threat to the criminal enterprise that has hijacked the federal government, and they know it full well. They will stop at NOTHING to destroy those organizations, and they will spare no expense. I wonder how many of the so called militia at the camp in Nevada were actually on the payroll of the feds? Think about it.

Breaking Alert - Who is this person called Ryan Payne?

I can't believe that nobody caught this.
Who is the person at the ranch that calls himself Ryan Payne????
Look at this video on YouTube where this person is interviewed as Ryan Payne,  who is supposedly the head of the militia at the Bundy ranch.
And then at the interview where he uses foul language and calls the Oathkeepers traitors/deserters, and not only that, he accuses Stewart of being an agent provocateur.
It's been my experience that liars accuse others of what they themselves are guilty, for lack of a better imagination, or because that is what they are most familiar with. They telegraph their innermost secrets and don't even know it.
Look at the website for their "Operation Mutual Aid"  which this person claims he is part of.
On this link here is what you will find.
On the top row on the right side this man is pictured and the name under the picture is NOT Ryan Payne, but Jim Messina
Which is it?   It says he is 44 years old and from the United States, while other so called members are listing their city and state. What's the deal with that?
It's the same guy who claims he is from southwest Montana, but lists his name as Jim Messina, not Ryan Payne on his website!
Sorry if you see this Mr. Payne or Mr.Messina whatever your name is, and attempt to pull the page, know that I have copied it and have the page on my hard drive, and have also archived it elsewhere.
I encourage anyone who sees this email to do likewise.
This person does and says the things an agent of a government that is really very afraid of the Oathkeepers organization would say. He can't really win an argument against the Oathkeepers mission or their 10 orders they won't obey, so he does the very same thing the leftists do. He demonizes the opposition because that's all he has. He inflames the patriots against each other, and he demonizes the only national organization that educates the active duty military members about their duty to their oath and to their country, which education can actually stop the leftists like Harry Reid right in his tracks.
SO WHO IS THE REAL AGENT PROVOCATEUR?      The Bundy family needs to realize who their real friends are, the Oathkeepers.

Communications at the Bundy ranch and future hot spots

Hi Everyone,
I have returned from the Bundy ranch, and am working on the ongoing project of setting up emergency radio communications systems for rapid deployment in situations like the Bundy family found themselves, following their stand against government tyranny.
I spent the best part of a week working for the safety of everyone at the ranch after being asked to go to Nevada by Stewart Rhodes. Stewart and the Oathkeepers organization made it possible, and I will work with them any time.
I am not disappointed at all with what we did on this first excursion to Nevada, considering the short 2 days we had to prepare.
My Dodge Minivan already had a scanner and a dual band FM  2 meter and 70cm radio and I had another just like it with me, that I set up at a local motel in a room that had good position that we could talk to the ranch, which was only 9 miles away.  I added a CB so I could get information from the truckers on the way down, before I left home.  I had also installed a dual band radio in Stewart's rented SUV and he was able to put that vehicle into the patrol rotation later using ham frequencies.
I had gone to the ranch on Friday shortly after I arrived, riding with another one of our crew, and gathered up those with Ham licenses, which turned out to be only two people on the whole site.  One of them is a good friend from Kalispell and he agreed to be the anchor on site with a split band operation and a dual band antenna that I had with me. We picked a location to set up that antenna and I told him I would be back the next day to do it.
That night we got the drone strike threat and an hour later my tech class ham friend showed up at the motel and said he was going on patrol.
We had been told to start up a night patrol with constant radio contact to patrol within about 25 miles in either direction from the ranch for the safety of everybody on site, and for advanced warning to get any info about what we saw out to the ranch and also out of the area however we could before any communications blackout could be put into effect. Using the dual band radios we were actually able to talk up to about 50 miles away at times depending on terrain.
I set up an antenna and dual band radio at the motel room and used a long term storage pack to run that radio so it couldn't be shut down by turning off the electric power in the room.  That radio was easily able to talk to our patrols because it's output was around 70 watts, and we used one 65 watt mobile, a dual band 50 watt mobile,  and some dual band handhelds with external antennas to do a once per hour radio check to make sure everyone was alright and still patrolling.  We did this from Friday night through Tuesday night, all night long from about 9 PM until about 5 AM each night.  During the day I used an  HF rig I had borrowed from WR7DW and a vertical antenna on my van to contact W4SVS in Florida, and WR7DW , and also K7BIR in Montana and several times we were able to all be on the same frequency simultaneously to maintain a signal path.
On HF during the day we used 14.345 on 20 meters, and later in the night we would switch to 80 at  3.838 .   We could vary the frequency as needed to get around interference, and the whole system worked quite well considering. We were able to maintain contact at all times and the patrol operators had some short range encrypted units to use between each other if they had to stop and should they get separated by a few hundred feet. These worked out to over a mile very well.
To see the whole band plan we are using see this document.
Here is our local band plan for the Eureka and Kalispell area.
Our obvious big deficit was having enough people with at least a tech class license to go on patrol, and we could have done a much better job if we could have had a few more high power mobile dual band radios for the vehicle, but I stayed with a Kenwood TM281 65 watt unit because they are low cost, have pretty good power, and it's what I could get on short notice, and the biggest reason is that it's so efficient that most any cigarette lighter socket will allow full power operation at 65 watts. We used magnet mount dual band antennas so we could switch the radios from vehicle to vehicle quickly to increase our transparency to the public.  We even equipped our handheld dual band radios with magnet mount external antennas and increased their range dramatically.
So much for what we did.   Now for what we could do given a little time and some money for preparations.
The ideal situation would be to have a communications crew, all with ham licenses, which could be composed of mostly tech class guys, along with at least two or three guys with General or Extra class licenses.  These guys would travel with several comm units consisting of one or two mobile vans with all band capabilities, and a few vehicles with patrol FM capabilities.  With a little more prep, we could set up a mobile command center in a travel trailer that could be pulled by any big pickup with a 2 " ball hitch to a site within about 10 or so miles of the center of action, and set up in a matter of a couple of hours. This trailer would have all band HF, VHF, UHF and digital capabilities including wireless internet to encrypted internet pier 2 pier secure data and chat, and digital HF single side band digital com on the ham bands. 
Ideally we could use a bumper pull 24 or 26 foot travel trailer with rear bedroom and a front dinette. The front dinette could be converted to permanent ham shack and the rear bedroom could be used by an off duty general or extra class ham for sleep so we could run a triple rotating shift 24/7.
This trailer would be comm HQ and a place where vehicle radios and handheld radios would be put in rotation for patrols, (checked in and checked out) and could be located off site in some higher location if possible.  It would have the capability of talking nation wide and world wide. This could serve as the communications hub for any operation around which we could run one or two vans with like capabilities using various spots on higher ground to back up these long range comms, and to relay from patrols to the trailer if the need arises. The trailer should have back up power including solar panels and a generator and storage batteries to be able to run the trailer and the radio gear during any power outage for extended periods. With the right planing we could equip this trailer with a big power amp, and a crank up tower that could swing a 3 element beam. While in Nevada I was able to talk repeatedly to Florida and Montana with only 100 watts and a vertical antenna, but 500 or 1000 watts would guarantee very solid HF communications almost regardless of band conditions. We can just switch bands and crank up the power to get the job done as needed. The beam antenna would amplify both incoming and outgoing signals for maximum range and effectiveness.
I have already talked to my Extra class buddies here in Eureka, and I am sure if we had some kind of trailer to work with we could set this up in a couple of weeks or three, assuming we had about 10 grand to put into the radio and power part of the project.  While in Nevada my whole station was solar powered.
If you have any ideas to add to this feel free to jump in.  We would like to finish our preparations with the comm van first and then pick up a few more radios for other vehicles for FM dual band operation.
If anyone reading this has any questions please feel free. None of this is set in stone, and any time you get a bunch of ham radio guys in a room together you are going to have lots of good ideas floating around.
If you would like to contribute to just the radio communications part of this project you can send donations to my PayPal account at the following email address:

Two more things. 
1.  In over 30 years of patriot activity I have NEVER asked outright for any kind of donation for my own projects or anything else for that matter, but this is very important, and the safety of the patriots at these kinds of activities may well depend more on communications than anything.
You will probably never hear of me asking for money again after this project is completed, but we can and will get this job done one way or another, and depending on what the rogue government does this project could be ongoing for a long time.
2.  Everything we did and will do is and was perfectly lawful and according to FCC regulations for Ham Radio in safety and emergency communications protocol and will be kept that way regardless of what other patriots do with their radios. We will NOT give agents of government any excuses to persecute us for trying to help people who are literally in the crosshairs of tyrannical government agents.
Donations will be used strictly for the communications project and are not tax deductible.
